They finally made a movie of Neil Gaiman's Stardust. now I know why readers complain when their favorite becomes cinema. I think I'm going to hate it. It doesn't feel like Neil Gaiman. The preview makes it look like a fantasy/action film. It's the next Pirates of the Caribbean, when it should be a macabre modern fairy tale.
On top of that, the movie, as the book, centers around the male human adventurer. Nowhere in the previews and poster does it mention the actor's name. DeNiro and Pfeiffer? I'm scared at how awful this movie could be. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it will be unlike the preview says. Claire Danes could be its saving grace.
